Liberty Bank customers now have greater access to full-service banking. Maria Parrino-Alvarez, Assistant Vice President and Manager of the Beachwood branch, will assist customers with their business and personal banking needs. As part of the expansion, the bank is also adding a drive-up auto teller ATM.

"We're excited about opening our Beachwood branch since the Beachwood business community provides excellent banking opportunities," said William A. Valerian, Chairman, President and CEO of Liberty Bank, N.A. "This move allows further growth for the bank and added convenience for our customers."

The Beachwood branch is adjacent to Liberty Bank's loan servicing, operations and administrative offices which moved into Signature Square in September 2005 featuring an open environment with state-of-the-art technology, training facilities and additional meeting space. Instead of traditional teller windows, the new branch features customer service desks and a small conference room, creating a more personalized banking experience.

With branch offices in Solon, Twinsburg and now Beachwood, the community bank serves local consumers and privately held businesses with sales of up to $25 million. The company specializes in providing innovative financing and cash management services together with competitive rates and personalized customer service.
